Preface 


The staff of the Microform Reading Room has been convinced of the necessity of a guide because of the 
proliferation of micropublications and, until recently, the lack of consistent and informative bibliographic con¬ 
trol. Lois Korzendorfer, formerly a Microform Reading Room reference librarian, recognized the value of such 
a guide and single-handedly produced the first and second editions of Microform Collections. Without her pioneer¬ 
ing efforts, the third edition might never have appeared. 

The following members of the Microform Reading Room reference staff and Processing Unit, past and present, 
deserve credit for their contributions to the Microform Collections project: Pablo Calvan, Robert Costenbader, Lee 
Douglas, Judith Furash, Phil George, Robert Gross, Dave Kelly, Lois Korzendorfer, Michael Lynch, Carroll 
Mason, Anthony Mullan, Josephus Nelson, Claudia Ruoff, Stephanie Selby, Alan Solomon, Bruce Swain, and 
John Tarafas. 


















































Introduction 


This guide has been compiled to draw attention to and to describe some of the major microform collections 
and single titles in the Microform Reading Room. The microforms represented in this guide include reproduc¬ 
tions as well as original micropublications and contain books, serials, manuscripts, pamphlets, dissertations, govern¬ 
ment documents, broadcasting transcripts, and a variety of ephemera. The languages covered include the same 
languages found in the Library’s general hardcopy collection as well as several non-Roman script languages; 
the range of subjects covered is as broad, if not broader, than those found in the book collections. 

The majority of the items described may be found in the Microform Reading Room (MicRR), but a few 
are located in the Social Science Reading Room (SSRR), the Local History and Geneology Reading Room (LH&G), 
the Prints and Photographs Division (P&P), and the Law Library (Law). Those collections included here by 
no means represent all the significant ones in the Microform Reading Room. As of the writing of this introduc¬ 
tion, approximately 100 collections are being prepared for a supplement to this guide. 

Each record in the guide is composed of bibliographic data including a description of the collection, the 
appropriate shelf numbers), reference to relevant published or unpublished finding aids (if available), and infor¬ 
mation on how to find material in the collection (if appropriate). The records are arranged alphabetically by 
main entry, which is usually the title. A subject index appears at the end of the guide.

American architectural books : based on the Henrv- 
Russell Hitchcock bibliography. — New Haven, 
Conn. : Research Publications, 1973. — 128 microfilm 
reels ; 35 mm. + reel guide (v, 20 p. ; 28 cm.) 

Microfilm 69000 <MicRR> 
This is a collection of books, portfolios, and pamph¬ 
lets about architecture and other closely related sub¬ 
jects published in the U.S. between the Revolution and 
1900. The emphasis of the collection is on builders and 
house pattern books, but a number of descriptive works 
such as guide books are also included. The collection 
is based on Henry-Russell Hitchcock’s American Architec¬ 
tural Books and Helen Park's A List of Architectural Books 
Available in America Before the Revolution. 

GUIDE: Index to the Microfilm Edition of American 
Architectural Books , Z5944.U5 E44 MicRR. 

The microfilm edition follows the same sequence as 
the listing in the Hitchcock bibliography, which is al¬ 
phabetical by author and then by title. 

The index matches in parallel columns Hitchcock 
bibliographic entry numbers to microfilm reel num¬ 
bers. Since first editions were filmed whenever possi¬ 
ble for the collection, Hitchcock’s bibliography should 
be consulted for other editions and for institutions own¬ 
ing copies of the titles. This index also includes the sup¬ 
plement to the microfilm collection which is based on 
Helen Park’s work.

Microfilm 02191 <MicRR> 

A collection of early American books and pamph¬ 
lets which provides significant primary sources for the

Close to 11,000 titles, many rare and difficult to find, 
covering the first 125 years of American fiction writ¬ 
ing. In almost all cases only one edition, the first, was 
filmed. In a few cases a variant edition was considered 


important enough for inclusion. The collection was 
based on the three-volume Lyle Wright bibliography, 
American Fiction, 1774-1850, A Contribution Toward a Bib¬ 
liography (Z1231.F4 W9 1969 MRR Ale); 1851-1875 
- (Z1231.F4 W92 1965 MRR Ale); and 1876-1900

Over 200 interviews with important contributors to 
the motion picture and television industries offer insight 
into acting, directing, producing, and script writing, 
and contain fascinating anecdotes. The “interviews” 
are actually transcripts of weekly seminars held at the 
American Film Institute from 1967 to 1976. Nearly 
60 of the interviews were published in Dialogue on Film, 
a monthly publication of the Institute, which, after 
October 1975, became a section in American Film. This 
particular group of published interviews may be found 
in No. 199 of the collection. Those interviewed include 
Ingmar Bergman, Ray Bradbury, George Cukor, Fed¬ 
erico Fellini, Elia Kazan, Harold Lloyd, Roman Polan¬ 
ski, William Wyler, and others.

cm. — Microfilm. Washington, D.C. : Library of 
Congress Photoduplication Service, 1975. 7 microfilm 
reels ; 35 mm. 

Microfilm 42106 < MicRR > 


In the late 1840s, when Anthony was lecturing in 
favor of women’s property rights in New York, her 
father suggested she keep a scrapbook. Beginning with 
the text of the Women’s Property Rights Act of 1848 
and related newspaper articles, Anthony continued to 
add to her scrapbooks “clippings from all sources on 
all questions’’ until 1900 when she was 80 years old. 
Her scrapbooks reflect her work in helping to advance 
women’s suffrage and her concern with the temperance 
movement and the antislavery cause. The clippings are 
from newspapers representing wide areas of the North¬ 
east, Midwest and Atlantic states, e.g., The Boston Jour¬ 
nal , The National Republican, The Chicago Herald, The St. 
Paul Globe, etc. Upstate New York papers are heavily 
represented in the early volumes.

open letters, addresses, and records of debates in Parlia¬ 
ment, as well as pamphlets and reports on organizing, 
on working conditions, and on labor’s role in govern¬

microfilm reels ; 35 mm. 

Microfilm 49532 < MicRR > 

Contents: 1837-1867 — 1868-1916. 

Inventories appear at the beginning of certain reels. 

This collection brings together the British Prime 
Minister’s handwritten reports to the sovereign on 
cabinet meetings between 1837 and 1916. These reports 
represent the sole official records of the deliberations 
of the cabinet, the highest executive body of state. The 
letters are helpful for an understanding of the genesis 
of government decisions, the character and authority 
of prime ministers, and the development of political 
issues. These letters reflect the prime minister’s view 
of government issues and his view of what the sovereign 
needed to know about government operations. 

GUIDE: Guide No. 76, Cabinet Letters at Windsor, 
copied from the microfilm by MicRR staff. 

A complete chronological listing of the letters appears 
at the beginning of each reel. Each letter has a cabinet 
number, the date of the letter, a brief description of 
the letter, and a Royal Archives Reference Number. 
Reports are located by date rather than cabinet or 
Royal Archives number. The handwriting of the prime 
ministers is not easy to read. The brief descriptions 
of the letters do not provide much information. There 
is no subject index.

Most of Congress’s work is performed by the nearly 
300 congressional committees and sub-committees. 
These bodies issue a variety of publications designed 
to inform Congress of current and background issues, 
and to evaluate legislation and make recommendations. 
Beginning with 1970, CIS indexed and abstracted the 
following kinds of congressional publications: Hear¬ 
ings, containing information relevant to legislation 
under consideration; Committee Prints, containing 
research in the areas for which the various commit¬ 
tees are responsible; House and Senate Reports, by 
which committees inform the House or Senate of their 
findings; House and Senate Documents containing 
presidential proposals for new legislation, executive 
agencies’ annual reports and background information; 
Executive Reports and Treaty Documents, contain¬ 
ing the text of presidential support for treaty ratifica¬ 
tion as well as committee recommendations; and 
Special Publications, which may contain any informa¬ 
tion not found in regular publications. CIS also indexes 
and abstracts Public Laws (but does not give the text 
of the laws) and provides citations for legislative his¬ 
tories of laws. Material is indexed by subject, title, 
author and document number.

This collection covers the period 1789-1969 and 
includes the following congressional publications: 
House and Senate reports and documents, and Senate 
executive reports and treaty documents. These publi¬ 
cations were, until 1816, compiled into the American 
State Papers , then into serially numbered volumes known 
as the Serial Set. Over the years, other materials were 
sporadically included; among the most significant are 
House and Senate Journals, some executive publica¬ 
tions, annual reports of government agencies, and 
investigative studies. For a detailed description of con¬ 
tents, see the introduction to the printed guide, p. ix-xi.

[1970]- . — < > microfilm reels ; 35 mm. 

Microfilm (o) 84/206 <LH&G> 
Also available on Microfiche 1002 <LH&G>. 
Consists of directories published from the I7th-20th 
centuries for selected cities and some states. Up to and 
including 1860, the collection includes all American 
city directories. A complete list through 1860 may be 
found on microfiche with the directories and also in 
print in the Bibliography of American Directories through 
1860, by Dorothea N. Spear, Z5771 .S7, copies of 
which are in the Local History and Genealogy and 
Microform Reading Rooms. 

Beginning with 1861, the collection is selective and 
does not include all directories published in the United 
States. Since this post-1860 collection is growing, it is 
advisable to consult a librarian in the Local History 
and Genealogy Reading Room to determine which 
cities it includes at any given time. It is useful to bear 
in mind that the Library’s post-1860 collection, both 
in microfilm and in print, is not comprehensive, and 
directories for many cities may be available only at the 
local level in state and city libraries. Researchers may 
also be interested in the Microform Reading Room’s 
collection of New York telephone directories for the 
period 1878-1959 (see MicRR Guide No. 38).

Microfilm 05419 < MicRR > 
More than 160 periodicals published primarily in 
the 18th and 19th centuries. The titles were chosen 
because they are scarce in American libraries, and 
because of their value to researchers. The subjects 
represented are immensely varied, ranging from 
literature, religion and economics to slavery, folklore, 
and specialized areas of interest or scholarship. 

Researchers may also be interested in the following 
collections: English Literary Periodicals (MicRR Guide

books printed in England and English books printed

elsewhere from the advent of printing in England in 
1475 through 1640. Almost all the titles in the STC 
and many more not listed there will eventually be 
included in the completed collection. Because of the 
intended scope of this collection, most books are in 
English, but there are a number in other languages. 
The books cover a very wide range of subjects and 
include numerous ancient and medieval authors. Each 
reel contains several titles arranged in STC number 
order, but the filming has not been systematic from 
beginning to end. Instead, books have been filmed as 
they have been located in various libraries. Published 
guides for each unit filmed are periodically cumulated 
as well as the Cross-Index from STC number to reel 
number. This collection is continued by Early English 
Books, 1641-1700.

as they are located in various libraries. Primarily in 
English but also including a few books in other lan¬ 
guages, this collection covers a wide range of subjects. 
Published guides and cross-indexes from Wing number

cumulated. The collection is a continuation of Early

A collection of translations of the texts of news and 
commentary, in full or summary form, for all areas 
of the world, from 1941. The source of the texts is 
primarily foreign broadcasts and news agency transmis¬ 


sions, but sometimes periodicals or newspapers are 
translated for this series too. The coverage is not limited 
to major “newsworthy’’ events. 

The reports are issued in series, by world area. The 
series have changed over the years; currently there are 
8 daily report series (Asia & Pacific, Eastern Europe, 
Latin America, Middle East & Africa, People’s Repub¬ 
lic of China, Soviet Union, South Asia, and Western 
Europe), with a 9th (occasional) series, “Trends in 
Communist Media.’’ Each report begins with a table 
of contents. 

GUIDE: MicRR Guide No. 10, lists microfilm 
numbers for series of Daily Reports from 1941 through 
March 1974. There is no index to reports for these 
years; film should be requested by date and series. 

From April 1974 forward, the reports were issued 
on microfiche. They are arranged by series and date, 
and filed in cabinets in the Microform Reading Room. 
Also, from April 1974 on, the tables of contents for 
each month were republished (but not cumulated) on 
a single microfiche. These tables of contents fiches are 
separately filed, in front of the reports themselves. 

From the late 1970s to date, printed subject indexes 
have been published for each of the series. These are 
available in the Microform Reading Room. 

The receipt of microfiche of the Daily Reports may 
lag several months. For the most current reports, 
readers should go to the Newspaper Reading Room, 
where the Daily Reports are kept in paper until 
microfiche is received.

Microfilm 1693 < MicRR > 

This collodion is part of a mic rofilming program 
undertaken by the Library of Congress in France after 
the Second World War. The collection consists of 
microfilm copies of selected inventories of the Archives 
Nationalcs which are the keys to the vast store of 
documents housed there. The Elat des Inventaires is the 
principal guide to the inventories and follows the 
arrangement of the archives themselves, by series or 
by record groups. Among the inventories included in 
the collection are those of naval records, colonial 
records, laws and decrees made during the Revolution, 
19th c. government acts, judicial and court documents 
etc. The Elat des Invenlaires describes the Archives 
Nationalcs in three sections: “Section anciennc” 
(archives for the period before 1789), “Section 
moderne” (archives for the period since 1789), and 
“Secretariat.” The inventories fall roughly into two 
groups: (1) The “inventaires numcriques” or sum¬ 
maries, and (2) the “inventaires analytiques.” The 
numerical inventories give summary descriptions 
whereas the analytical inventories carry the descrip¬ 
tive process much further. 

GUIDE: Elat des Inventaires des Archives Nationals 
CD1192.A2 E72 1984 MicRR, and an unpublished 
typescript. 

The typescript gives a list of microfilmed inventories. 
The first number for each item is the entry number 
in printed Elat des Inventaires. The number (or numbers) 
in brackets refers to the microfilm reel number and 
is needed to request the film.

1943. — 11 microfilm reels ; 35 mm. 

Microfilm 442 < MicRR > 
Approximately 200 titles of books and pamphlets 
filmed by the Library of Congress in 1943. The works 
are principally anti-Semitic, but include writings on 


21 


other groups as well, including Jehovah’s Witnesses, 
the Jesuits, and the Freemasons. Also included are his¬ 
tory, pseudo-history, and Fiction. The collection 
presents anti-Semitism as an issue in politics, eco¬ 
nomics, religion, and education. Most of the writings 
date from the 1920s and 1930s and many are directly 
connected with Nazi groups. 

GUIDE: No guide. 

All titles have been cataloged by the Library of Con¬ 
gress, and may be found grouped together in the 
Microform Reading Room’s card catalog under the 
heading, “German Anti-Semitic Propaganda.”

More than eighty prisoner-of-war camp newspapers 
published in the United States and Canada between 
1943 and 1946. Some modern German writers, par¬ 
ticularly those of the “Gruppe 47,” found their first 
forum in these papers. They contain camp news, world 
news, sports news, crossword puzzles, humor, essays, 
original poetry and short stories and articles explain¬ 
ing the defeat of Germany from the point of view of 
the Allies. 

GUIDE: MicRR Guide No. 60 is a printed guide

Roughly equivalent to the Congressional Record and 
the Serial Set in one, this title began in March 1871 and 
ran through 1933. It is the collected edition of pro¬ 
ceedings issued daily during each legislative session of 


the body which succeeded the Reichstag of the North 
German Confederation. Each session’s debates 
(“Stenographische Berichte,” including question and 
answer periods and plenary decisions) are accompanied 
by supplementary volumes with the title “Anlagen.” 
These include legislative bills, reports of committees 
and party groups, formal inquiries and responses, etc. 
Most of the Anlagen are numbered with the main 
volumes (1887-1889/90 also carry separate numbers; 
1890/91-1905/06 are numbered separately only). 
Volumes for 1907-1933 are called volumes 227-458, 
in a continuous numbering scheme originating with 
proceedings of parliamentary bodies antedating the 
German Reichstag, and including both the debates and 
volumes supplementary to the debates. Volumes 
326-458 (1919-1933) relate essentially to the Weimar 
Republic, and include proceedings of the National 
Constitutent Assembly (volumes 326-343, 1919-1920) 
which wrote the Weimar constitution.

The Gerritsen collection of women’s history. — Glen 
Rock, N.J. : Microfilming Corp. of America, 
cl975. — 17,556 microfiches ; 11 x 15 cm. + 241 
microfilm reels.; 35 mm. 

Microfiche (w) 82/12 < MicRR > 

The collection consists of over 4,500 European and 
American books, periodicals, and pamphlets, spanning 
the years 1543-1945, forming a rich source for the study 
of international women’s history and the feminist 
movement. 

The Gerritsen Collection was begun in the late 19th 
century by Dr. Aletta Jacobs (a doctor as well as a 
leader in the Dutch and international suffrage and 
pacifist movements), and her husband, Carl Gerritsen. 
The Crerar Library (Chicago) bought the collection 
and added to it many titles concerning American 
women, especially those published between 1880-1920 
in the Midwest. Most of the collection has since been 
acquired by the University of Kansas. In addition, this 
microform collection was supplemented by titles from 
the Woman’s Collection of the Jackson Library at the 
University of North Carolina at Greensboro. 

Subjects well represented include women’s rights, 
the nature and role of women, prostitution, education, 
biography, marriage and the family, employment, 
religion, and voluntary associations. Most titles date 
from the 19th and 20th centuries; languages include 
14 European languages, as well as Arabic, Greek, and 
Latin. Analytics for serial titles are available on 
MUMS.

The collection will be best used by the researcher 
who is familiar with the period. At the beginning of 
each reel is a complete listing of the forty-nine reels 
in the set, and a listing of the volumes contained in 
each reel. Each of the documents in the set has a cabinet 
number, a date, and a specific item number. Some of 
the documents also have brief titles such as “Minutes 
on the Law Officers Report of November 28, 1899.” 
However, of the above, only the date is helpful. If 
researchers know that the cabinet is likely to have 
discussed Zanzibar’s revenue in 1899, then they can 
examine the volumes for that year to see if they can 
find letters or reports. Only if researchers know the 
year in which an issue surfaces will they be able to find 
anything in this collection. There are no indexes. 
Knowledge of the history, politics, and statesmen of 
the period is almost mandatory.

Microfilm 831018 <MicRR> 

This collection contains a wide-ranging assortment 
of letters, memoranda, and special reports written by 
Crown representatives throughout the British empire, 
and made available to cabinet ministers during the 
years 1880-1916. This prime collection of documents 
reflects the kind of information and the many sources 
of information used by the government in making 
domestic and foreign policy decisions. 

Nearly 5,000 letters, memoranda, and special 
reports, written between 1880-1916, have been pulled 
together in this collection. These documents were cir¬ 
culated within the cabinet in order to inform and 


influence decisions. Although covering all the major 
issues confronting the government, they vary in length 
and detail. Letters treating such minor issus as the 
retirement pay of a royal duke are part of this collec¬ 
tion as well as those which discuss issues as important 
as the continuing menace of the “Russian Bogie’’ and 
the Boer War. A casual perusal of the collection makes 
the researcher aware of the many complex issues facing 
the cabinet during these years. These documents are 
taken from the Public Record Office, the Royal 
Archives at Windsor, and the private collections of a 
number of British statesmen.

The Russian old and new catalogs represent the 
holdings of the Helsinki University Library’s Slavic 
Department, one of the most important Western 
libraries for students of the Russian Empire. Until 
1910, the library served as a copyright depository for 
materials published during the Empire period. The old 
and new card catalogs, both arranged alphabetically 
by author, are differentiated only by different catalog¬ 
ing codes. Each catalog records monographs most of 
which were published in the 19th and early 20th cen¬ 
turies. A “Miscellanea Slavistica” catalog, found on 
the last reel of the collection, lists titles of periodicals 
and newspapers from the same period.

HRAF Files is a continually growing collection of 
information about primitive as well as advanced 
societies throughout the world. The microfiche collec¬ 
tion consists of reproduced pages of articles, books, and 
manuscripts, which are annotated with regard to sub¬ 
ject matter and cultural group or unit. The collection 
is organized into cultural files containing information 
on a culture or a closely related group of cultures (each 
cultural unit is listed in the Outline of World Cultures and 
given a unique letter/number code). The materials 
within each cultural file are organized according to a 
comprehensive subject classification system presented 
in the Outline of Cultural Materials. 


GUIDE: Users should read Nature and Use of the 
HRAF Files , (shelved with cataloged guides) before 
attempting to use this collection. Other guides to the 
files are the Outline of World Cultures , GN345.3 .M87

(shelved in hallway outside MicRR), which lists sources 
used in the files under the code numbers for the sub¬ 
jects (not the ethnographic groups) they wrote about; 
and Human Behavior Abstracts , which features a regular 
section on the HRAF files (also in MicRR). 

Request material by forming a code number based 
on (1) the code for a given culture, and combining it 
with (2) the code for a specific subject or topic (e.g.,

The Japanese monographs record the history of 
World War II in the Far East as remembered by officers 
of the Imperial Japanese Army and Navy. Since most 
Japanese records had been destroyed, the U.S. Far East 
Command directed in October of 1945 that the docu¬ 
ments in this collection be prepared to replace what 
had been lost. The documents suffered from the faulty 
memories of some of the authors and the defective lan¬ 
guage skills of some of the translators, and in 1951 an 
office was set up to correct and edit them. Under the 
aegis of this office, the Japanese studies on Manchuria 
were completed several years after the monographs. 
Their contents were more carefully monitored and are 


27 


more trustworthy than the contents of the monographs. 
The same office prepared a study of night combat 
entitled Japanese Night Combat.

Established in the year immediately following the 
Second World War, the U.S. Joint Publications 
Research Service (JPRS) acts as the centralized trans¬ 
lation source for the government. On the basis of spe¬ 
cial demand it translates current foreign language 
documentary material. There is no limitation to either 
subject matter or original language of the material 
chosen for translation, and the original sources vary 
from weekly newspaper and magazine articles to the 
most specialized scientific and technical writings. A 
large number of JPRS reports are concerned with some 
phase of Soviet or communist activity. 

Until 1984 the reports have been arranged by a single 
overall JPRS series number. From 1984, they are 
arranged by sub-series (e.g., Worldwide Reports: Law 
of the Sea; China Reports: Political, Sociological, and 
Military Affairs). 


GUIDE: TRANSDEX Index (monthly, MicRR),

Microfilm 4498 < MicRR > 


29 


Genealogical information collected by Frank Willing 
Leach of Philadelphia over a period of thirty years, 
beginning in 1885. In spite of his diligence, the infor¬ 
mation has gaps due to the enormity of the undertak¬ 
ing. Some lines became extinct, others became too 
diffused or too prolific for one man to chronicle. 
Nonetheless, he began at a time when a large number 
of grandchildren of the signers of the Declaration of 
Independence were still living and he was able to 
acquire data directly from a generation now gone; in 
fact his investigations traced descendants as far away 
as Japan and China. The records of the descendants 
are understandably more nearly complete than those 
of the ancestors of the signers. In the 1920s Mr. Leach 
sold the manuscripts, and the originals are now in the 
possession of the Filson Club in Louisville, Kentucky. 
Copies are in the possession of the Descendants of the 
Signers of the Declaration of Independence, the Sons 
of the American Revolution, and the Library of 
Congress. 

GUIDE: MicRR Guide No. 9, includes name index 
to volumes and reels.

Over 1000 religious and secular manuscripts from 
the great libraries of the Greek and Armenian Patri¬ 
archates in Jerusalem, predominantly dating from the 
8th through 16th centuries but including some from 
as late as the 19th century. Biblical texts (mostly New 
Testament) and commentaries, patristica, grammars, 
liturgies, and psalters constitute the greatest part, but

matics, medicine, geography, music, poetry, ecclesi¬ 
astical law, and rhetoric. Most of these are in Greek, 
but there are a number in other languages including 
Armenian, Syriac, Arabic, Ethiopian, Slavic, Latin, 
and Georgian. There are also several interesting bilin¬ 
gual manuscripts. Some 1,100 illuminations were 
separately photographed.

Published from 1672, this influential periodical 
promised in its first issue to chronicle the activities of 
luminaries in metropolitan Paris, in the French prov¬ 
inces, and abroad, and to offer good literature to lovers 
of novels and stories. It was published first under the 
title Le Mercure Galant by Donneau de Vise. Upon his 
death it was taken over by Riviere Dufresny (1710), 
then Lefevre de Fontenay (1714), and Abbot Bucher. 
In 1724 the title was changed to Le Mercure de France , 
and the periodical was split into a literary and a polit¬ 
ical section. Present microfilm holdings go to 1810.

Microfilm 83/123 < MicRR > 
This is a compilation of microfilmed copies of the 
works listed in Kristeller’s bibliography, essentially a 
catalog of finding aids and of sources of bibliographic 
descriptions for manuscripts in Latin; also for some 
manuscripts in French, Spanish, German, and Italian. 
The guide which accompanies the collection is orga¬ 
nized in the same pattern as the Kristeller catalog. Sec¬ 
tion A lists catalogs or inventories of libraries and their 
manuscript collections. Section B lists works that 
describe manuscripts in more than one city. Section 
C lists published and unpublished inventories of hold¬ 
ings for individual libraries, by city. The main criterion 
for inclusion of each item is its usefulness in locating 
manuscripts. Sources that fail to indicate present 
locations are not listed. No descriptions of single 
manuscripts, nor lists of manuscripts by author are in¬ 
cluded.

A collection of manuscripts of the Latin poet Pruden¬ 
tius. Born in Spain, he had an active public life from 
which he retired to devote himself to writing poetry 
on Christian themes. Prudentius gave classical liter¬ 
ary form to Christian doctrines. His subjects were 
derived from such early Christian authors as Tertul- 
lian and St. Ambrose, and from the Bible and the Acts 
of the Martyrs. His Psychomachia (“The Content of the 
Soul’’), the first completely allegorical poem in Euro¬ 
pean literature, was immensely influential in the Mid¬ 


dle Ages. 1'he collection consists of all or part of about 
66 different manuscripts dating from the 6th to the 15th

This collection provides the reader with much of the 
legislative record of colonial America up to 1800. It 
also includes the legislative records of Maine and Ver¬ 
mont. The collection reproduces all of the standard col¬ 
lections of colonial laws and a number of documentary

The PTLA is an annual collection of publishers’ cata¬ 
logs arranged alphabetically by publisher’s name. The 
catalogs are not compiled according to any uniform 
system, thus the amount of information given about 
books varies greatly, ranging from full information and 
occasional notes in some lists to short title and price 
in others. In general, dates of publication are omit¬ 
ted. Only books in print are listed. Up to 1963, the 
PTLA was the primary source for identifying new titles.

Russian futurism, 1910-1916. — Cambridge :

color) ; 11 x 15 cm. 

Microfiche 5120 < MicRR > 

This collection of monochrome and color microfiche 
contains manifestos, collections of poetry, journals and 
illustrations concerned with Russian art and literature 
for the years, 1910-1916. A simple reprinting of the 
texts was judged to be inadequate, since they were 
sometimes hand-lettered and frequently integrated with 
accompanying illustrative material. The originals have 
never been gathered into a single public collection, so 
it was necessary to film private collections in England, 
France and America. Some of the originals were made 
of highly perishable materials and will not tolerate han¬ 
dling by researchers. This film collection is the only 
source for these valuable primary materials.

Index by Format and Subject 


In this index references to entries are listed by name under format and subject headings. Entries themselves 
are arranged alphabetically in the text. For help in finding a particular entry, the title index may be consulted. 

Format (e.g., Books; Correspondence; Pamphlets) and Subject (e.g., Cuba—History; Indians of North 
America) headings have been interfiled below in one single alphabet. Format headings have been adapted from 
L.C. usage for this index, and have been interpreted broadly (e.g., “Scrapbooks” is used also for newspaper 
clippings and other collections of assorted and collected bits of material). Subject headings follow L.C.usage 
as tar as possible, but are simplified, or used broadly, for this index (e.g., “European” in some cases has been 
used to include Great Britain; in other cases, since only a few collections fell under a heading, a simpler form 
was used). 

Every effort was made to be as accurate and inclusive as possible, but some microform collections by their 
very nature are hard to categorize. In using the index readers should try all possible approaches, employing flexi¬ 
bility and imagination to make the search fruitful and productive.
